We have a lot of people to thank for their support and concern during this challenging week at the Garden of Eden!

As you can imagine, it has been very hectic and chaotic to navigate the waters after @quinneaker was stabbed then wrongly arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon...an arrest that came even before the Arlington Police Department conducted an investigation that violated even more standards of due process and due diligence.

Holding a corrupt system accountable is a big challenge, but we are here and stand firmly in dedication to building a better world for ALL. We remain committed to solutions! 

We are interviewing both criminal defense and civil lawyers, because #1 we will protect Quinn's freedom, and #2 the Arlington Police Department needs to be held accountable for their incompetence. 

At this time, we don't have much new news to report to you. We want to keep you in the loop about what went down and what's unfolding, and we will release our videos and affidavits when we have a lawyer and have filed an internal investigation against APD.

@quinneaker has some very exciting developments to tell you about, but we're going to save them to let him drop them on you himself - it's REALLY good stuff, y'all!!! For now we will tell you that he is getting stronger every single day, and it seems like nothing can hold him back!!

In this post we want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Again and again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU for reaching out to us through comments, phone calls, and emails.

THANK YOU for your prayers and well wishes.

THANK YOU for offering your service.

THANK YOU for suggesting resources and people to connect with to help us through this.

THANK YOU for your financial donations towards Quinn's Freedom Fund - this is going directly to legal defense and a lawsuit against the APD.

THANK YOU for understanding that we are spread very thin and presently do not have the means to answer everyone directly. 

THANK YOU to the blockchain for existing!!! Thank all the gods that we have an alternative to FB, as most of our community members are banned from spreading the word.

A special thank you to all you beautiful Steemians who have contributed directly to Quinn's Freedom Fund:

Garden of Eden Founder Quinn Eaker Stabbed Multiple Times On His Own Land

Assailant Walks Free After Another Botched And Bungled Operation From The Arlington Police Department

[ARLINGTON, TEXAS, May 31] -- Quinn Eaker, founder of the humanitarian project the Garden of Eden that feeds tens of thousands of free meals a year, clothes, shelters, educates, and provides healing space for people in need, was stabbed 8 times by a homeless man for whom he had provided refuge.

Eaker, 35, is in stable condition, despite being locked in a police car for more than 30 minutes while he bled without care.

Assailant Heath Archer, who first pepper sprayed Eaker before repeatedly stabbing him, called the police then disappeared for 2 hours before showing up with an unexplained wound to the forearm that was unsubstantiated by witness accounts.

Archer remains free, despite Eaker’s request to press charges and file a restraining order.

In an appalling and unjustified turn of events for which no probable cause has been presented, Eaker was arrested and removed from his own property.

In yet another example of gross misconduct on behalf of the Arlington Police Department, the ensuing investigation of the incident was a laundry list of rights violations: search without a warrant, arrest without reading rights, coercion, intimidation, manipulation, lying, failure to properly secure a crime scene, trespassing, failure to follow due process, and failure to conduct due diligence.

Eaker was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and has since been released on bond.

Unfortunately this is not the first or worst of the Arlington Police Department’s gross abuse of power as they repeatedly target Eaker with corrupt and unlawful attacks, such as the the bogus SWAT raid on the property and terrorization of its residents in August 2013. This latest grievous injustice is another illustration of malicious intent from the City of Arlington, which is already facing an ongoing $5 million civil suit from residents of the Garden of Eden.

Significant portions of the investigation were videoed, photographed, and witnessed by residents of the Garden of Eden and will be released as public record on the censorship resistant Steem blockchain, as well as used in lawsuits against Heath Archer and the Arlington Police Department.

The Garden of Eden is a non-profit and sustainable community dedicated to building a better world for all.
